<h2>An urgent wakeup call</h2><h3>This  film shows why the survival of our National Health Service remains a vital and urgent issue for us all. </h3><h3>Because the mainstream media fail to scrutinise government actions or hold politicians to account, the public remains largely unaware of the scale of NHS privatisation. This thoroughly researched documentary by Dr. Bob Gill, <em><strong>The Great NHS Heist ,</strong></em>  aims to put this right by exposing the alarming facts about what has been happening and where it is all heading.</h3><h3>Legal and structural changes over thirty years have systematically reshaped and undermined the NHS, bringing it to the brink of capture by US health insurance corporations or, as one former policy advisor put it, reduced the NHS to ‘a funding stream and a logo’. Funding cuts provided perfect cover for the engineered failure of services, necessary to persuade the public to fall out of love with its NHS. Land, patients&#x27; data and tax-funded budgets are all up for grabs. </h3><h3>The evidence presented warns of the serious risks ahead, through interviews with health care professionals, experts and patients in England and the United States. An insurance industry whistle-blower, and health policy experts, expose the failings of the US health system, where the vested interests of private health  corporations, health insurers, drug companies  and hospital provider chains decide priorities - profits above patient care - with devastating consequences. People lacking healthcare cover go untreated, or queue for services provided by charities. Those insured may face hefty medical bills when they fall sick, due to ‘health insurance exclusions’.</h3><h3>Public awareness and political action are key in safeguarding and restoring our public NHS . </h3><h3><strong>The Great NHS Heist is a much needed wakeup call</strong>     </h3><h3>                                   <strong> UK | 2019  | 120 minutes</strong></h3><h2>Followed by Q&amp;A with filmmaker Dr. Bob Gill</h2><h3><em>“Once judged as the finest, most cost efficient health service in the world, the NHS is now in mortal danger – due to ruthless government privatisation plans. Are the British people fully aware of this? A group of doctors and health care professions are dedicated to getting the truth out. Please support this film.”</em></h3><h3><strong>John Pilger</strong>, Award-winning Journalist, Filmmaker</h3>
